HUME POST WOLVES

Trai Hume says that with Nordi Mukiele, Dan Ballard and Omar Alderete all making themselves undroppable, he's happy to move to left back and free up space for his teammates. He set up Mukiele's goal with a neat one-two and on another day could have also had a goal himself with that diving header. As a boyhood Chelsea fan, he's determined to make an impact at Stamford Bridge on Saturday...

COMFORTABLE ON BOTH FLANKS

“Yeah, comfortable enough. I’ll play where I’m asked to play. My main trade is a right-back but I’m comfortable enough playing both sides. Especially over the past two seasons, I’ve had to fill in that position in the Championship. It’s been tough, two intense games over the international break, but I’m a footballer and can’t really complain about playing football.”

HARD FOUGHT GAME

"We started the first half well, we wanted to come in with more than one goal, and I think we deserved that, but in the second half, they took the game to us, and we were probably a bit sloppy on the ball. We’ve only come up; we’re not going to be dominating possession and controlling games, but we’ve got to be hard to beat. We were that.”

STEPPING UP

“The step up was going to be tough but I worked hard in the off-season. The boss has given me my chance to play in the Premier League and I’m working hard to repay that. There’s always room to get better, especially a young team like ourselves. The step up has been difficult – players are better, teams are better, they’re better-coached, physically they’re better and mentally you have to stay switched-on for 90 minutes.”

HARD GAMES AHEAD

“Every game’s big. Anywhere you take points, it’s massive. But it just feels like another win. You know when you play stronger sides like Chelsea, Liverpool, City, they’ll be tougher games."

CHELSEA CONNECTION

"I was a Chelsea fan growing up, it came through my family from my grandad all the way down. So, I'm looking forward to playing at Stamford Bridge. We know it'll be a tough test, they're a top side with a lot of good players. I'll have a lot of family there in both the home and away end!"

ALWAYS AIM TO WIN

“You go into it trying to take what you can. But today at home, especially, you try to win. You’re talking about momentum – you win a big game and you gather it. Like last season, when we started so well. Some of them are bigger because you gain momentum.”

NEW BRIDGE

“I knew it was opening up. It’s magnificent that they’ve got it done. The fans are fantastic.”
